If you’re making your own cables to use with outboard preamps or compressor you may occasionally need to work with 1/4” plugs
Line amps take 1/4” balanced plugs, and so do my interface’s analog outputs.
This week I had to once again become familiar with theNeutrik Stereo Phone Plug - NP3X - Neutrik Plug 3 Connections
1.Casing, body of plug = Ground (copper braid)
2. Center = Hot (coloured wire)
3. Wingtip = Neutral (clear wire)
Unfortunately, I found there’s not a lot of real estate to work with when soldering, and I found these plugs much more difficult to work with than the XLR connectors in my DIY Snake video.
So here’s a video dedicated to working with 1/4” Stereo Neutrik Plugs.
